Spatial Vision Project Team Questions?

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Concepts  Asset Classification  Consequence of Loss  Disruption  Spatial Reporting Unit

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Concept - Asset Classification Key levels:  10 Asset Classes  170+ Asset Categories  Asset Groups:  Environmental  Economic  Social  Differentiated on basis of assigning either:  Value, or  Disruption implications

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Concept – Consequence of Loss Consequence = DAMAGE + DISRUPTION DAMAGE = total loss of value (replacement or intrinsic) DISRUPTION = impact from the loss of an asset (based on service and/or function it performs)

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Concept – Disruption Elements  Impact on services and/or functions performed by asset

Spatial Vision Project Team Progress Since Last Workshops?  Synthesis of Round 1 Consultation Information  Prepared Methodology  Assigned Values  Assigned Disruption Element Ratings  Developed Initial Spatial Products to Implement

Spatial Vision Project Team Spatial Product Generation  Consequence of Loss generated for Asset Categories and 8 Asset Classes  CoL also generated for 2 proposed versions of Asset Classes  Findings Report prepared  Used 173 Asset Categories in total

Spatial Vision Project Team Round 1 User Workshops Four workshops were held:  Melbourne – 30 May 2006  Benalla – 1 June 2006  Horsham – 6 June 2006  Bairnsdale – 8 June 2006  Good representation from each Agency  Differences in each region – 4 Workshop locations  Limited representation from across the State- most travelled within 1-2 hour of venue  Examples worked well

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Issues arising from consultation  Inclusion of proposed developments and projections (eg. population estimates, new infrastructure)  Disruption independent of damage (service of function performed can be lost without damage to asset)  Tighten terminology concerning planning levels (use of term ‘local’)  Need to retain integrity of Statewide view, but allow ‘user’ to assign value and disruption at local level  Different number of disruption elements in Asset Groups may lead to bias  Disruption must be assigned by ‘user’

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Issues Outcome - Scope

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Issues Outcome – Disruption  Disruption is the impact over time ascribed to an asset category due to the loss of a physical asset or the service it provides.

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Issues Outcome – Spatial Reporting Unit  For planning purposes need to aggregate and summarise information

Spatial Vision Project Team Key Issues Outcome – Asset Categories  Biodiversity  Land  Water  Air  Cultural Heritage  Social Infrastructure  Human Life  Economic Production  Infrastructure  Property Asset Classification Definitions 3 Tiered Asset Classification  Environmental Social  Economic Triple Bottom Line Asset Classes ( Reporting Level) Asset Categories (Data Analysis/Collation) Implemented  29  Nil  2  Nil  12  40  10  24  37  19  173
